Dee Dee Ramone

Lobotomy is a lurid and unlikely temperance tract from the underbelly of rock 'n' roll. Taking readers on a wild rollercoaster ride from his crazy childhood in Berlin and Munich to his lonely methadone-soaked stay at a cheap hotel in Earl's Court and newfound peace on the straight and narrow, Dee Dee Ramone catapults readers into the raw world of sex, addiction, and two-minute songs. It isn't pretty. With the velocity of a Ramones song, Lobotomy rockets from nights at CBGB's to the breakup of the Ramones' happy family with an unrelenting backbeat of hate and squalor: his girlfriend ODs; drug buddy Johnny Thunders steals his ode to heroin, "Chinese Rock"; Sid Vicious shoots up using toilet water; and a pistol-wielding Phil Spector holds the band hostage in Beverly Hills. Hey! Ho! Let's go!

Poison heart

A breakneck tour of a dysfunctional childhood, heroin, punk rock and the heyday of The Ramones. The tour guide? None other than the legendary Dee Dee Ramone. Internal wrangling, gruelling tours and methadone clinics form a backdrop to Johnny Thunders and Stiv Bators succumbing to their addictions, Dee Dee's girlfriend overdosing, Sid Vicious shooting up with toilet water and Phil Spector holding the band up at gunpoint in his Beverly Hills mansion. A gripping story from the now sadly deceased Ramone.
